water pump and alternator replacement
I have a 95 F-150 with the straight six in it but i haven't driven it for a long time. I just started it up today and found that my altenator and water pump are seized up. I hired a local traveling mech to come fix it for me but i was unsure of what the parts pricing for these two pieces would be? He is doing the work for cheap as far as labor goes but i dont want to get screwed in the parts area. Thanks for the help!

fantastic, can you give me a quick list of tools i might need to complete this job and maybe a brief on how to actually do it?
I have a subaru WRX as well and im just starting to get into my own mechanic work, so this should be a good project to get me started.

i dont remember the exact bolt sizes but nothing more than some standard and metric sockets and wrenches (these trucks are horrible for having mis-matched bolts).
the altnerator comes off with two bolts and removal of the wiring harness and charge wire. the smog pump is a little harder (accessability is tight, better off doing this after the alt is off). but the same thing applies here as well, just two or three bolts the pulley then the retaining bolts (similiar to the alt.)
a prybar is a good idea to help pursuade the parts out. spray everything up with some PB blaster a few hrs before and it should go pretty easy. i think thats it, if not, its not much more involved. thankfully Ford made these trucks easy to work work on.
